Hormone Replacement for Men

October 23rd, 2009 | Author : Anju Mathur, MD | Posted in Health & Nutrition

Women who want to handle symptoms of menopause often seek a doctor’s help to replace the dwindling supply of hormones naturally produced by the body. But if a man wants to avoid wrinkly skin, weakness and loss of strength, hair falling out, and low libido, what should he do? Why not the same? Replace the lost hormones.

What man pictures himself as a bald, wrinkled, weakling? The reason that men are not usually considered for hormone replacement is because they remain fertile long past the age when women stop producing babies.

Some people develop signs of age earlier than others. Mental well being can be affected as well as the outward appearance of the body. Hormone production usually starts to drop off after the age of 30.

Lately studies have brought to light that hormone replacement therapy can help men with symptoms of aging as well as women. Anyone would enjoy feeling more youthful and healthy – health is important to everyone.

There are many hormones produced by various glands of the body, all of which affect aging. Testosterone is normally thought of as the male hormone, but replacing only testosterone will not bring about desired results. Growth hormone, thyroid hormones and even estrogen and progesterone can be important in hormone replacement for men, as well as other hormones.

One important thing to remember if you are interested in hormone replacement is to make sure that the hormones used to replace the lost hormones must be bioidentical. That means that the hormones must be the same as the ones the body produces, not a synthetic. The first step in hormone replacement is medical testing to determine which hormones need to be replaced and in what amount. Then a doctor will prescribe replacements.

There are a lot of remedies for the signs of age on the market – through the ages one can find things like hair replacement, Dr. Hustler’s Medicine Show tonic (cocaine? Alcohol? It probably did make some feel youthful for a while) or extract of goat testicles (yes! It has been done!). But there are only three tested therapies which actually produce the desired results: diet and exercise along with hormone replacement.

If you have concerns about the ravages of age and a desire for more youthful energy, do something about it. Skip the medicine show, and realize the cause of the problems is dwindling hormones. Handling the problem at its source will give you lifetime benefits.
